We got started on the difficult part of the ceiling today. We didn’t get a whole row up. We had a late start because Susan wanted to complete some caulking.
While she was doing that, I removed the middle light above the island in anticipation of placing our first light hole cut tile there. The light came down easily, as I expected it would and I did not electrocute myself as everyone is expecting I will.
Our first tile placement for this row was between the lights. It has worked out quite well that there is a full tile in between each of the lights. Having a tile edge to measure from makes everything easier.
We used a cardboard template to locate the hole and make sure we liked the placement before we cut an actual tile.
I expect we will finish the whole row tomorrow. The first two tiles we will lay will have the light hole cut outs. After that, it’s smooth tiling.
The only other concern is that we have enough tiles to finish the job. My math says we do. However, I can feel the hot rancid disapproving breath of Mrs. Bridge breathing down on me.
Mrs. Bridge was my fifth grade math teacher. Fifth grade was the year we learned fractions. I was lost. Didn’t have a clue. It seems so funny now because I turn fractions around in my head with no effort at all.
